Re: Annie's Girls.

I'm building it myself so I need some power tools too but I'm looking forward to giving it a go. I need roofing (not sure yet what type...

Hi Andy. Welcome to the lane. Congrats on your new venture, you're gonna love your ladies I promise. I have 3 Red Shavers, they're 22(ish) weeks old and beautiful.
